Chili’s Grill & Bar is an American casual dining chain serving American food, Tex-Mex cuisine, and Mexican-inspired dishes. Founded in 1975 on the corner of Greenville Avenue and Meadow Road in Dallas, TX, the menu historically featured bold, kicked-up American favorites such as big-mouth burgers, full-on sizzling fajitas, baby back ribs, and hand-shaken margaritas. In recent years, Chili’s has focused on a seamless digital experience as investments in technology provide a faster, more convenient dine-in experience, as well as tabletop devices to engage their guests, with the additional functionality for guests to pay at the table, order or reorder, and engage in digital entertainment. Today Chili’s has a global presence with more than 1,600 restaurants in the United States, 28 countries, and two United States territories. The chain became a subsidiary of Brinker International, Inc. in 1983. Chili’s is headquartered in Coppell, TX.
